I recently had the pleasure of attending a photography workshop in Tuscany, Italy. What a wonderful experience it was! It was my first trip to Italy and I had a blast. I have to say, the workshop was one of the best I’ve ever attended. The Italy Masterclass was organised by Jeff Medford of Monte Zucker Photographic Education and was well worth the effort and expense to get there.

Jeff had two of the best portrait / wedding photographers in the world as instructors – Clay Blackmore and David Ziser. I’ve been following both these guys online for a while now, but never had the opportunity to participate in one of their workshops before. I’m not exaggerating when I say this workshop was an experience of a lifetime! New country; new skills; but above all – new friends!

If you’re a photographer and you get the opportunity to participate in a workshop put on by Jeff, or led by either Clay or David, then in the words of Nike – “Just Do It!”
